The problem is that I have a small brownstone (~ 16 ft wide) in Brooklyn. The city requires so much free area around the installation (6 feet on each side, apparently) that it is uneconomical to build the small solar (~2kW) that was planned. It ends up costing me to feed Con Ed at that size. Also, the rebates available do not apply to the zero-start lease-back plans that most of us can afford, only to cash in advance.

We really need a plan for small flat roofs that would help Brooklyn. I support solar in general, and for statewide job growth. But I feel left out!
